It can be a little frustrating when you forget and have to redo what you just did... Alex

It will reload everything just like it was when you closed it. Then you can save... Hope this helps Guillaume

It's not too much trouble for me to say "Yes" to that. And how many time have I changed an existing preset, not saved it, exited vMix, then restarted vMix later and opened the old preset without my changes. Too late to use "last" in that scenario. +1 - Tom

This sort of prompt even halts accidental shutdowns.

I know about LAST, and it is great, but might not remember that in the heat of the moment. Also, not sure if someone else uses vMix before I do next would it ruin my LAST file with the preset they are working on (if that makes sense). Thanks, Skippy

I continuous worry about overwriting the wrong preset file. A "Save" and separate "SaveAs" function would be a simple and life saving feature.
